Updating Shopify Inventory from a Mobile App
One of the benefits of using Shopify as an ecommerce platform is that it provides robust inventory management features. However, maintaining accurate inventory records in real-time can be challenging, especially for merchants who rely on manual data entry during inventory audits or restocking.
Handheld barcode scanners are a great solution for increasing speed and accuracy during inventory checks, but storeowners often lack a seamless way to connect scanner data directly to the Shopify system. Without proper integration, staff may still need to manually transfer scanned data into Shopify, negating some of the efficiency gains that barcode scanners are meant to provide.
Let’s take a look at a real-world scenario for building a mobile app with barcode scanning functionality that integrates directly with Shopify for real-time inventory management.
